Reply to comment by [deleted] in Obama praises John Fetterman as someone with whom you can 'have a normal conversation,' says the Pennsylvania Democrat has 'some sense of how the rest of America lives' by BlankVerse

Since the population of Braddock is well over 65% the chances of a black person passing you by is much higher than a white person. Fetterman stopped the first person to run by. Who also happened to be the first black person.

Was it stand your ground? Was that wrong? If you stooges would lift your head up and look around you might see the world is a lot more nuanced then you're led to believe.

According to the article in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Fetterman never left his truck. Pursuing a person in a motor vehicle is clearly not "standing your ground".

Can't find your original post. I believe it was about racist John Fetterman. I was pointing out that the odds were that the first man to run by happened to be black. If Fetterman had let white men run by and then stopped a man who was black I would say that was racist.

As far as stand your ground laws I was just pointing out how nuanced the world is. A young black man gets stalked by a man who followed him on foot and by vehicle after the police told him to stop. The victim stood his ground and confronted Zimmerman. Zimmerman shot Martin and got off on self defense. Why wasn't Martin seen as someone who was standing his ground?
